I've been told that the schools using Debian Edu in lower grades pick very simple and short passwords for the kids, and this will become harder if the minimum lenght is increased. Thought it was best to bring that up publicly. I am not sure if these schools practice is a good idea, nor if it should be allowed in the future, but it should at least be part of the background when the change is considered.
